1956: A Year in an Era of Simpler Times

Commentary

On October 5, 2021, my wife and I celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary.

Perusing our album of black and white wedding photographs was a vivid reminder of how times have changed since 1956.  I would suppose that wedding photos today are taken on an iPhone.

The American flag hung in every classroom, where the pledge of allegiance was repeated each day, and prayers were not out of the question. … read more

I know, like me you’re probably tired of reading about statues of past leaders being torn down, or in many cases, simply removed. So, why am I writing about it again?

The Biden Way: When in Doubt, Form a Committee

Commentary

Biden’s White House has screwed up immigration on our southern border, the withdrawal of our human and supply assets from Afghanistan, our energy independence and have shown no interest in quelling crime in our major cities, yet, the banner headline in my Sunday morning paper reads, “White House working to address the thawing Arctic.”… read more

Joe Biden: Our Pathetic, Petty President

In a nutshell, those two headlines above, appearing over articles I researched, for this side-by-side piece on the status of President Biden and former President Trump, couldn’t be more succinct.

Biden Must Now Restore America’s Global Standing: In Ruins on His Watch

Commentary

On Tuesday, making his first appearance before the UN Security Council as president, Joe Biden found himself in the embarrassing position of attempting to restore America’s diplomacy following a series of his foreign policy screw-ups.

Telling other leaders of the need to work together for “our security, our prosperity and our very freedoms as never before,” his appearance, in what was termed his most high-profile moment on the world stage since assuming office, came as many leaders have expressed skepticism of the United States in recent months.… read more
